Tony’s Top Movies of 2006
I didn’t watch as many movies as I would have liked this year. I’m sure some really amazing pieces of cinema didn’t make on my list. Here are my top fifteen movies without the five best. Just as Rene said in his post, you’ll have to wait for the podcast for those. And, since I’m a punk, I’m going to one-up Rene. I’m adding a little comment of why these movies are on my list.
6. Beerfest-
The funniest movie I’ve seen in a long time. (I love you Broken Lizard)
7.V for Vendetta-
It’s easy these days to miss the message of a story when you we have such amazing special effects. This one got it right. (Even if Alan Moore hates everything about Hollywood, it doesn’t stop him from letting them make the movies.)
8. Little miss sunshine-
Just watch this one. That little girl is precious.
9. Lady in the Water-
Not M. Night’s best movie, but it still made my top 15
10. Slither
Nathan Fillion is my new Bruce Campbell.
11. Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny
THE D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12. The Descent
Rene and I cringed through half of this movie together. One of the only scary movies I enjoyed last year.
13. Nacho Libre
I can’t get enough Jack Black in stretchy pants!!
14. superman returns
Everyone who knows me, knows I’m an Uber Dork for superhero movies. X-3 made me want to cry. At least Bryan Singer brought back our beloved boy in blue. Superman was not the best superhero movie I’ve seen, but I definitely see good things in the future for this franchise.
15. An Inconveniant Truth
I’m not sure how scientifically proven Al’s information is, but he throws one hell of a slide show. I guess politics sucks all the fun out of the room, because he’s actually kind of funny in this movie.
